' tomcg g Patented Oct. 22, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT orFncE 7 2,218,598 FILLER FOR GREASE GUNS Glenn D. Brown, Waterloo, Iowa Application March 27, 1939, Serial No. 264,353 2 Claims. (chem- 475) tom of the container having a delivery aperture with manually operable closing means therefor.

Another object is to supply associated bracketing devices for supporting said container and to,

adjustably support below' the container a grease gun or other receptacle tobe supplied from the container and in adjustablerelation thereto.

Another object of my invention is to furnish suitable side framing to mount said bracketed devices thereon whether fixedly or adjustably, and shaped and constructed for rigidly connecting the framing to some fixed support in a desired relation thereto.

These and other objects related thereto are hereinafter fully described andclaimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

It is however to be understood that various minor changes or improvements may be effected in the above structures, without departing from my invention and the scope of theclaims.

The invention is particularly adapted for use in filling stations or other places in supplying lubricant for filling grease guns, but may be re movably positioned for transfer to other places or buildings, or to vehicles.

Fig. 1 is'a side elevation of said device including a removable open top pail for grease or other semi-solid substances, the latter container adapted to receive and fit a movable piston seated therein above a bottom exit with controllable closure means therefor, and the container is shownin central vertical section, with part of the uppermost fixed arm broken away, and with the lowermost bracketing device indicated in lowcred position in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a top plan of the device, and Fig. 3 is a bottom plan of the container and its rockable closure for its delivery exit shown in open condition in dotted lines, and in full lines as opened.

Referring first to said Fig. 1, the numeral I denotes a vertically disposed hanger bar, preferably of wood or may be of other substance, and adapted to be fastened removably by nailing or otherwise to a supporting fixed structure within a building or otherwise. A tubular metal standard 2 is maintained in parallel relation to and spaced laterally from said hanger bar] connected by short arms 3 in pairs and fixedto the bar I by bolts 3a and to the standard 2 by soldering or otherwise rigidly. Upon the upper part of said standard is a hollow bracket 4 having bearmg openings thereacross to seat rotatably ,a shaft ll carrying at one end a crank lla, and also carrying within the hollow of the bracket a pinion I2 meshed with a dentated rack l3 extending vertically therethrough, with an imperforate disk piston M fixed thereon.

On the standard 2 below the bracket 4 are a laterally spaced pair of divergent arms 5 having a disk 6 with a central perforation alined with a like perforation I! in the bottom of a handled open top pail I5, the pail containing a supply 01 grease orother lubricant IS, the pail being seated on the disk 6 with a'rockable closure arm !8 (Fig. 3) pivoted at l9. at one end and having at its opposite end a down-turned 'fingerhold part 18a, the arm, l8 having at one side edge asemicircular clearance notch I812. A fixed stud 2Q on the bottom of the disk 6 spaced from the aperture at It restricts the scope of rocking of thearrnlii as shown in Fig.3, and the stud is laterally notched to seat therein when the arm is swung open to retain the arm in contact with the disk 6. Below the bracket arms '5 asimilar bracket l with sleeve 8a and set-screw 8 is adjustably mounted on the standard'2 and has fixed thereon a disk H3, centrally apertured at 9 to seat thereon a grease gun hung therethrough removably. The crank handle Ha may be used to lower the rack I3 with its head It to compress into the grease gun below as the apertured bracket 1 is suitably adjusted,

I'claim: e

1. In a device of the character described, supporting means, a container having an apertured bottom, an apertured plate mounted on the supporting means and supporting removably said container with their said apertures in alinement, a rockable valvular closure pivoted at its end on the plate to cover said apertures, a stop on the plate for the closure when swung to uncover the apertures, and the stop having an edge recess to partially receive the closure when swung to uncover said apertures."

2. In a device of the character described, supporting means, a container having an apertured bottom, an apertured plate mounted on the sup porting means and supporting removably said container with their said apertures in alinement, a rockable valvular closure pivoted atits end on the plate to cover said apertures, a stop on the plate for the closure when swung to uncover the apertures, the oppositeside cf the closure being
